E minor 7Em7
Well alright,
Edim7Edim7
No stars tonight

The moon must hide
Edim7Edim7
Can't bear to see my face

So many moons have passed
BbmBbm
So many suns gone down

Too much blood under the bridge

Too many worlds turned upside down
Verse 1:
D MajorD E minorEm
The skies were pure and the fields were green
F# minorF#m G+G
The fading summer, sixteen-seventeen
B minorBm F# minorF#m
The first time I ever drew blood
G+G A augmentedA
She was such a beautiful and innocent child
D MajorD E minorEm
She never knew my soul was cursed for good
F# minorF#m G+G
I fought to overcome my thirst I thought I could
B minorBm F# minorF#m
But when I kissed her lips then I had no control
G+G A augmentedA
And the furies all ran wild
Pre-Chorus:
B minorBm
And when I grasped for life
F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA
I always killed the things for which I yearned
B minorBm F# minorF#m
I wish to be a flame and reduce to ashes
G+G A augmentedA
But I have never burned
Chorus:
E minorEm A augmentedA
I long to fly in total freedom
B minorBm G+G
And yet these chains keep dragging me down
E minorEm A augmentedA
I want to be an angel or the devil himself
B minorBm G+G
But I am nothing but a creature longing for things I can't have
F# minorF#m B minorBm
And the split goes through my very soul
G+G A augmentedA
It´s a wound that never mends
F# minorF#m B minorBm
Our desires are elusive
G+G A augmentedA
And the hunger never ends
D MajorD E minorEm
When the world has drawn its final breath
G+G A augmentedA
And Extinguished all the light
D MajorD
There´ll be nothing left
E minorEm G+G
But a lifeless wasteland
A augmentedA B minorBm
And an endless appetite
D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Nothing left but a soundless heartbeat
A augmentedA
And a ruthless appetite

Verse 2:
D MajorD E minorEm
The preacher's daughter let me in her room
F# minorF#m G+G
In seventeen thirty-two, to love me was her doom
B minorBm F# minorF#m
With her silken blood I wrote a poem of love
G+G A augmentedA
Upon her ivory skin
D MajorD E minorEm
And the bashful page of Napoleon the Great
F# minorF#m G+G
In eighteen hundred thirteen he stood at the gate
B minorBm F# minorF#m
When I recall his body I can't help but think
G+G A augmentedA
To consume him was a sin
Pre-Chorus:
B minorBm F# minorF#m
So many victims washing on the shores
G+G A augmentedA
An ocean of pure tears...
B minorBm F# minorF#m
So many pleas for mercy, howls of pain
G+G A augmentedA
Intoxicating fears
Chorus:
E minorEm A augmentedA
I used my body just like a bandage
B minorBm G+G
I used their bodies just like a wound
E minorEm A augmentedA
And I'll never know where they disappeared
B minorBm
But I can see them rising up out my memories now
B minorBm G+G
Just like the demons rising up from a tomb!
F# minorF#m B minorBm
And there is no way ever to apologize,
G+G A augmentedA
Repent or make amends...
F# minorF#m B minorBm
No release and no redemption
G+G A augmentedA
The hunger never ends...
Bridge:
D MajorD E minorEm
There are those who believe in science
G+G A augmentedA
And those who believe in art
D MajorD E minorEm
There are those who believe in power and wealth
G+G A augmentedA
Or love and matters of the heart
G+G A augmentedA
There are those who believe in various gods
B minorBm C#m7C#m7
In nations, and knowledge
B minorBm C#m7C#m7
In heaven and hell
B minorBm C#m7C#m7
The powers of darkness
G+G A augmentedA
The assumption of the light
D MajorD B minorBm
But I believe in just one God
G+G
That of endless and insatiable
G+G
Immoral and destructible
G+G
And all consuming appetite
Instrumental:
D MajorD B minorBm G minorGm Bb majorBb G minorGm Asus4Asus4
Outro:
D MajorD E minorEm
There is a prediction that I now will make
G+G A augmentedA
And I'm sure it will be right:
D MajorD E minorEm
When the next millennium finally comes
G+G A augmentedA
The god most worshiped in this world
G+G
Will be the God of appetite
